Don't you just love bluebell woods? Especially when they are on your doorstep.

Time to stop and just enjoy.

Beautiful sunset on the water last night while doing rescue boat duty for Wednesday evening club racing. Perfect to reflect what a glorious place we live in and why we need to look after it

Early morning dog walk before going to visit clients at their office. First face to face meeting since lockdown easing.
Hopefully this won't be the last .

Ready for another insightful day at brightonSEO. A 2 day virtual conference jammed with SEO and digital marketing thought leaders.

Many of them work for big agencies or deal with companies with vast marketing budgets so, for me, it's great to hear what they are up to - what's working, what's not, and importantly, how I can apply lessons and use the latest techniques with my own clients.

Many of my clients may not have budgets to rival the larger companies but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have a marketing person who uses best practices to help with their website and digital marketing. Someone who knows what works to make their business be noticed online, and helps them bring in lots of lovely customers.

Have you communicated with your customers much in the last 12 months? The pandemic has affected every business and industry differently but it's important to keep the channels of communication open to let your customers know what you've been up to and, if shut, when you hope to reopen again as the lockdown eases.

I turned away some business this week.
It often feels wrong saying no to work but I am getting better at it.
Sometimes you don't get the right vibes. 😒
When a potential client expects a new website to be built in unrealistic timescales and expects or demands a specified number of new clients are gained through SEO within weeks of launch, it starts to ring alarm bells.
Especially when they haven't got their message right and need a complete overhaul of their copy, customer journey, structure and....well their strategy.
The web developer who asked me to quote for marketing aspect was in total agreement and they declined to quote for the project.
Don't get me wrong, I love to help with strategy, new web builds and optimising sites and I would expect lots of new clients to follow.... but I won't cut corners. There are many factors to getting new business online and just putting up a new website without a clear strategy in place and expecting the money to come rolling in is a recipe for disaster.
We (the developer and I) agreed the only way they could hit those targets in that timescale was to do PPC, (and for that they need a decent landing page) or try the cold calling method - neither of which I do.
So we said no.
And I felt good for it. 😊

How about you? Are you good at saying no?
